Putting Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Principles into Practice
DEI Lessons from Five Seasoned Grantmakers
When it comes to diversity, equity, and inclusion, many grantmakers are moving past the pledges and are putting the principles into action. While this is urgent work, grantmaking organizations must also recognize it is a long-term commitment.

- How to make sure DEI is reflected in the organization’s mindset, and isn’t just a box to check for annual training
- Ways to bring more diverse talents into your organization, outside of just your employees
- Why your application needs to be reviewed regularly, and how these organizations are making changes
